Middle-earth: Shadow of War Wiki Guide

Reversal of Fortune

Welcome to IGN's Walkthrough for Shadow of War. This page contains information on the ninth quest in the Eltariel storyline - Reversal of Fortune.

Note that Shadow of War is very open-ended and enemies (including the Strengths and Weaknesses of Captains, Warchiefs, and Overlords) will vary. Because of this, these guides will provide information on what to expect, and options you can take to defeat your opponents.

Meet up with Eltariel ahead of you. You have to free your allies that are captured and interrupt the ritual they are about to undergo. Move around the outside of the area and free your allies while avoiding the center where a Nazgul patrols.

Prerequisite

Complete all previous Eltariel quests

Rewards

11370 XP, 970 Mirian, Shadow Dominate Skill

Bonus Objective Reward

Might Gem

You can use Eltariel to stealth kill enemies if you remain hidden, otherwise she’ll fight alongside you in battle like normal.

Bonus Objective - Rescue A Follower Before Disrupting the Ritual: As you see the Nazgul stalk around the area, wait until he picks one side and then sneak off to the opposite side to free a Captain. There's less chance of being detected and they are far more observant than the average Orc.

When your allies are free, engage the Nazgul in the center. A group of captains will appear when you begin fighting. Focus on the Nazgul and deal enough damage to banish it. Another Nazgul will appear right after, but you’ll still need to fight the captains in the area.

While fighting the large group of enemies, summon allies and use all of your abilities to maintain control of the fight. When you clear up the area, fight the second Nazgul and banish it. You’ll then see a short cutscene that will complete the mission.
